Book Synopsis A God Hangs Upside Down by : Joseph Maviglia
Book excerpt: These poems combine Italian oral tradition and social commentary. Beginning with a reflective narrative as the poet travels through Southern Italy, the focus shifts to images of North America, a working-class family, and the pulsating energy of the construction job site. Combing elements of Calabrian oral tradition with social commentary, Maviglia explores pantheist-Catholic mythology and challenges the reader understand the poem beyond the limits of the page.
